This Freebie is a sample from my second pack of an unplugged coding activity used to help primary students practice their coding skills, and strengthen their sight word vocabulary knowledge at the same time. Simply slide the page into a plastic sleeve, or laminate, to use as a literacy or math coding center activity. Students use a dry erase marker to figure out the sight word.

Start at the green star and follow the arrows on each line to finally land on a letter. That letter is the one the student records on the lines at the bottom of the coding card. Answer key cards are included.

This sample is a page from the Sight Words Coding 2resource that includes 37 sight words.
